Interior designer Sneha Samtani helps you with unique ways to understand the right methods to use stripes to balance spaces indoors.

Stripes can be used on flooring. While doing so, ensure that you choose just one part of the flooring. It could either be your bathroom or bedroom or living room flooring. Do not go overboard with stripes as it will look overbearing.
Furnishing is another option where you can make use of stripes. Spruce up your décor with stripes design on curtains or blinds. Avoid using stripes on curtains if the flooring or bedspread has stripes décor on it.
The perfect combination could be bedspread and curtains if you wish to use it in two different places.
Create a sense of illusion with stripes in the washroom. Highlight the shower panel or the niche with stripes. This will give a magnetic feel to the space.
Decorate the space above the headboard with stripes. Another area that can be used to draw attention is the space behind the television panel. When used behind the television panel, the space will grab eyeballs even when your television is switched off.
Murals with stripe design can be used to highlight the centre part of the house. You get readymade mirrors with stripe design. Beveled gold mirrors with stripe design are another way to highlight spaces.
Use this creative design on table mats or coasters to enhance the beauty of your dining or living area. Similarly, the centre table can also have stripe design.
